Abstract

A method for sorting/separating at least two different particles in a fluid, the method comprising defining within the fluid a static optical landscape/pattern having one or more optical wells or troughs that are substantially the same size or slightly larger than at least one of the particles. By exploiting differing particle responses to the same light pattern, separation/sorting can be done. This type of sorting may potentially be performed to separate particles that are of different sizes, shapes or refractive indices.
